BO 2025, good disputes oriented CV.

It's been really long, I've also been applying to advocates, majorly AORs with good practice as I want to develop practical knowledge first, money was never a consideration I took among the facets of finding my job, although I did try looking for job at law firms (majorly T1); been long since I'm applying to AORs, with objective of getting good knowledge, yet no response. It's really depressing now, yesterday it was diwali and yet all I thought was about my prospect of starting my career.

Tbh, yes I'm very selective towards whom I'm applying to, as I don't wanna shift to Delhi just for the fact of appearing across fora there, but to actually learn.

Idk what I must do now. Need guidance, I want to start my learning, the other option for me is to start it at district court at my home town, but the only problem is that we don't have that many good lawyers across, and honestly the vibe of DC is too insincere. I want to develop the Good ethos of legal practice along with knowledge. I'm ready to work without any remuneration, only consideration is someone who's work profile is considered good amongst the fraternity so that my profile get an anchor for having been trained under the right person.

Please suggest some names and also practitioner who may be considering taking freshers at this point.

P.s: yes there was some personal reason due to which I wasn't able to secure job earlier and it has now costed me a long gap.

Try to look for any connection as you can for your state HC. If money is really not a consideration, start at your state HC. Perhaps take a week and go there, observe the seniors, ask around who is doing well, who is a good mentor, etc. Approach them. In case that fails, come back to your DC, start practice, and eventually you'll get to know who are doing well both in the DC and in the state HC, and so thereafter approach them and make the switch. All the best

While I don't have any Delhi names to suggest, my 2 cents for you would be that you should not dismiss the idea of practising in district courts. I agree that the calibre of the average lawyer working in trial courts is not very good, but there are quite a few outstanding lawyers in every district (at least as per my experience). Trial practice is just as fascinating and intellectually demanding as appellate practice due to which I would suggest that you also search for good DC lawyers, whether in your home town or elsewhere.
